780 That’s Great
Then, they praised the calligraphy piece.
“Wow, Little Brother, this calligraphy is too good!”
“That’s right. It’s so imposing. I feel like my soul is shocked when I see these words.”
“It’s too beautiful. It’s so elegant and upright. Little Brother, you’re really good. Not bad, not bad.”
“It’s beautiful, it’s really beautiful.”
After saying that, the sisters pulled Ye Xuan and continued to speak to him expectantly.
“Little Brother, write me a calligraphy piece too!”
“Little Brother! I want one too! Write one for me!”
“Little Brother, I want it too!”
Upon hearing his sisters’ request, Ye Xuan instantly put on a very tired expression and spoke in a sharp voice.
“Aiyo, why have my shoulders suddenly become sore? It’s so sore that it affects my writing~”
His sisters were speechless.
Good lord, did he still need his sisters to massage his shoulders and legs?
Did he think that he could write a calligraphy piece and be so smug?
At the thought of this, his sisters didn’t want the calligraphy pieces anymore. They pouted and turned to leave, not giving him any respect.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan was instantly petrified.
Wasn’t this too dishonest?
This made Ye Xuan feel numb, so he didn’t care anymore. If they didn’t want it, so be it. He couldn’t be bothered to be troubled.
Then, he looked at his Ninth Sister, who was obsessed with the calligraphy piece, and spoke.
“What else do you want me to write, Ninth Sister?”
“There’s no need. I’ll just have this one for now.”
His Ninth Sister spoke without looking back. Then, she muttered to herself.
“Oh, this is like this. This hook… Hmm, so you have to use a lot of strength. This horizontal stroke is not bad… No, this handwriting is too perfect. I have to frame it.”
After muttering, Ninth Sister Ye Xue rolled up the paper and found a rubber band to tie it up. Then, she hurriedly changed into her shoes and left. She drove towards the calligraphy and painting shop.
When Ye Xuan heard her Ninth Sister’s words, he was also stunned. He didn’t expect her Ninth Sister to cherish his calligraphy so much and even wanted to frame it. He was really emotional.
Then, he went to the dining table to sit down and have breakfast with his sisters.
The other sisters were also very emotional. They chatted and chattered. It was very lively.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
In the calligraphy and painting shop, a few old antique experts and a few calligraphy and painting masters were sitting on the armchairs drinking tea.
The wind stirred a wind chime hanging on the curtain, producing some lingering mystic sounds. It was especially clear under the sunlight, but in the noisy house, it seemed light and even blurry.
“The weather today is really not bad. Drinking tea here can be considered a form of enjoyment. However, I wonder when the masters will be able to write a calligraphy piece and draw a painting for us. That will be even more enjoyable and comfortable, right, masters?”
The person who spoke was an old antique expert. He had white hair and a small ponytail. He was wearing a traditional Chinese suit and looked very artistic and elegant.
When the other old antique experts in the same outfit heard this, they echoed.
“That’s right. Old Zhu is right. When will the masters give us a painting or calligraphy piece? How beautiful would that be?”
“I think there’s no time like the present. Let’s do it today. How about that?”
Hearing the words of the old antique experts, the calligraphy master opposite them was immediately amused. He picked up his teacup and smiled.
“Look at what you’re saying. When you give us a few antiques, we’ll custom-make a painting and calligraphy piece for each of you. Sigh, how about it, experts?”
As soon as he said this, everyone was amused and laughed.
“Master Xu, you’re right. An antique for a calligraphy piece and a painting. I think this business is suitable. Hehehe.”
“I think it’s fine. I think it’s very suitable too.”
“You must be joking. It’s not that I don’t want to take it out, but I don’t have it in my hands now, right? If I did, I would definitely use it to beg the masters for calligraphy pieces and paintings.”
“That’s right, that’s right. The main problem is the source of goods.”
The old antique expert smiled and picked up the teacup to take a sip. It was not that they did not want to, but they felt that it was not worth it to exchange antiques for calligraphy pieces and paintings. After all, it was written for them. If they did not write it well, they would suffer a huge loss. Moreover, calligraphy pieces and paintings were not as valuable as antiques. The longer antiques were placed for, the more valuable they were. Unless it was a famous poet in ancient times, calligraphy pieces and paintings were not worth much.
Therefore, they all wanted to come over and freeload. However, the master also understood this intention, so he teased them. The meaning between the lines was that he would not let the antique experts freeload.
He also expressed to the antique experts that his skills were very expensive. It was a kind of teasing with a hint of truth.
Just as everyone was chatting, Ninth Sister Ye Xue suddenly drove to the entrance of the shop.
After parking the car, she walked out with a rolled-up calligraphy piece. As soon as she entered, she saw a few old antique experts sitting at the side while drinking tea.
The old antique experts also knew Ye Xue. After all, archeology and antiques were not separated.
However, they were still a little surprised to suddenly see Ye Xue, so they quickly stood up and greeted her.
“Aiya, Dr. Ye, I didn’t expect to meet you here. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you, Professor Ye. Have you been busy recently?”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Ninth Sister Ye Xue had some impression of these old antique experts and could be considered to know them. Hence, she smiled and greeted them.
“Hello, experts. Nice to meet you.”
“Let me introduce you to everyone.”
A few old antique experts turned to look at the calligraphy and painting masters. Then, they continued.
“Miss Ye Xue might be young, but she’s a rising star in the archeology world. She has a doctorate in archeology and is famous in the archeology circle. She’s young and promising.”
When the calligraphy and painting masters heard this, they nodded. She was just a junior and did not pay much attention to her.
So what if she had a doctorate? Even if she had a doctorate, she was just a junior.
Therefore, they did not care much about her.
Ninth Sister Ye Xue didn’t care much. She nodded at the calligraphy and painting masters and was about to leave when she heard the old antique experts ask her.
“I wonder why Doctor Ye came to the calligraphy and painting shop today. Is Doctor Ye interested in calligraphy and paintings now?”
“Sigh, Dr. Ye is so young. Why can’t she nurture her interest in calligraphy and paintings at this age? Am I right, Dr. Ye?”
“Hehe, right, right.”
Ninth Sister Ye Xue smiled and replied to them.
“It’s not that I’m here to buy anything. It’s just that there’s a calligraphy piece that I want to frame. It’s inevitable that it’ll be damaged if I leave it like this. It’ll be troublesome when the time comes. It’ll look better when I frame it.”
Hearing this, the calligraphy and painting masters were immediately interested. Their sharp gaze landed on the paper scroll in Ye Xue’s hand and they asked curiously.
“May I ask which master’s calligraphy piece did Dr. Ye beg for?”
